Coyote Hills 2027

Coyote Hills is a trail race at Coyote Hills Park in Fremont, California, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. While the park has "hills" in its name, the courses limit climbing, focusing on steady running and varied terrain rather than significant elevation gain. Walkers are welcome, contributing to a broader participant base than a runner-exclusive event. The routes follow the eastern San Francisco Bay shoreline, crossing dirt paths, paved sections, and wooden boardwalks through marshland. Runners will encounter rolling terrain and open bay vistas, with the low Coyote Hills serving as a landmark on the western edge of southern Alameda County. The park holds significant human history; Native peoples have inhabited this region for at least 12,900 to 13,500 years. The Tuibun Ohlone village site, over 2,000 years old, is accessible via naturalist-led programs. Participants also receive complimentary race photos, and sponsors help reduce entry fees.
